the most appropriate answer is First one ! nuclear energy is converted to heat and thus eventually the steam produced turns the turbine and forms electricity !!

Answer;

steam that turns a turbine

When nuclear power is harnessed, it is captured in the form of steam that turns a turbine.

Explanation;

  • Nuclear power involves the use of nuclear reactions such as nuclear fission, that release energy which generates heat.
  • The heat released by the nuclear reactions is used in steam turbines to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant.
  • The nuclear reactions that may enhance production of nuclear power includes nuclear fission reactions, nuclear decay and also nuclear fusion reactions.
  • During nuclear fission atoms are split apart and nuclear energy is released, while during nuclear fusion atoms are combined or fused together to form a bigger atom and also generate energy.
